Thus, why I said I don't think they'll win the Big Ten title this season. I would be amazed if Nebraska beats the Badgers in Madison in their Big Ten opener, but expect them to beat Iowa in Lincoln the day after thanksgiving. I'm placing MSU in the toss-up category with Penn State right now, despite the fact that the Spartans have to travel to Lincoln for the game.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the huskers lose every conference road game this year, but if they show any semblance of consistency on the offensive side of the ball, they will win the Legends Division and contend for a BCS bowl.

And again, I'm taking about the narrative framework via the media, which is as good as reality any way since it's all your gonna get.


speaking of, did anyone see last week's South Park that covered this exact subject?



Yes indeed. Pretty good episode, and now it seems, timely as well.

Should win the Legends Division, agreed. I'm just curious to see how much of a distraction will be caused by Pelini being a "potential candidate" for the possible upcoming job opening at OSU, depending on the timing of the interim coaching position being made permanent.

It won't be that much of a distraction, since he has to know he isn't a front runner for that job.

The list is most likely:
1. Urban Meyer
2. Bob Stoops
3. A myriad of successful coaches throughout the country and out of work NFL coaches
4. Mark or Mike Stoops
5. The Pelini Brothers

They aren't going to want to pay a guy like Pelini the same sort cash they were paying Tressel, and Pelini has to prove he isn't the sort of hot head to have a Woody Hayes meltdown on the sideline before getting the gig at his alma mater. He needs to win a conference title at Nebraska before he moves up to one of the top five paying jobs in Division I Football.

That's mainly why I put potential candidate in quotes. The problem will be that the local media will probably keep bringing it up, and since Pelini's not one with much love for the media, it could be more of a distraction than it should be. But I agree, he is not going to be too high on their list.

The local media rarely sticks it to Pelini. He's just had one or two run-ins with the Omaha World Herald last year. When push comes to shove, the media still gives the benefit of the doubt to anyone involved with Husker Football. I think the intense scrutiny of the new offensive coaching staff and possible QB controversy will impact the team more than anything else this season.
Stadium expansion, a new Baseball coach and construction of the new arena are the talk of the town at this moment.

If anything, he'll spice it up a little bit. The Big 10 is as exciting as a rectal exam and not half as arousing.

And that list of potential candidates begins and ends with Urban Meyer III. He might become the first $10 mil./year coach in college.

I guess to convey my disappointment at another guy who puts himself out there as a Christian to the public and his team, only to ultimately fall on his face as corrupt. I heard the perfect comparison earlier on Jim Rome, Tressel = the Warden in Shawshank Redemption.

Paper is a Badger booster, and THEE INCIDENT, obviously, is a Spartan rooter. And we had or have a few Northwestern grads.

And the day of Tressel's resignation, Pryor drives to a team meeting in a new car registered to his mother. Awesome. :|

Expecting another solid defense and hopefully better offense from Penn State, especially if the Moye draws double coverage and the other WRs step up. Am not sure how the QB situation is going to play out.

Cool. I agree as well. At first I thought you had posted those to excuse what he did under the guise of "we all make mistakes, no one is perfect" stance. Problem is, as a cold recruiting tactic, I don't think it's ever hurt a coach in a kid's living room with him Momma sitting there to be a "man of God". Whether he believes it or not. All about perception. I actually think Mark Richt walks it like he talks it (some would say to his detriment depending on who you ask over here) but if this stuff came out about him, he should be fired as well.

This was pretty interesting with regards to this from the SI article about Tressel. All alleged of course:

Quote:
The Clarett and Baker scandals were further evidence that Tressel was, at best, woefully ignorant of questionable behavior by his players and not aggressive enough in preventing it. At worst, he was a conduit for improper benefits, as Clarett alleged. The latter interpretation is suggested by a story that has long circulated among college coaches and was confirmed to SI by a former colleague of Tressel's from Earle Bruce's staff at Ohio State in the mid-1980s. One of Tressel's duties then was to organize and run the Buckeyes' summer camp. Most of the young players who attended it would never play college football, but a few were top prospects whom Ohio State was recruiting. At the end of camp, attendees bought tickets to a raffle with prizes such as cleats and a jersey. According to his fellow assistant, Tressel rigged the raffle so that the elite prospects won -- a potential violation of NCAA rules. Says the former colleague, who asked not to be identified because he still has ties to the Ohio State community, "In the morning he would read the Bible with another coach. Then, in the afternoon, he would go out and cheat kids who had probably saved up money from mowing lawns to buy those raffle tickets. That's Jim Tressel."

:lol: I saw this. Unbelieveable.

Pat Forde had an article yesterday about the mood on campus there and it sounds like much of the vitriol is slowly starting to be directed at Pryor. I'm thinking he should just enter the supplemental draft and move on.

People are PISSED.

I think he may have rocketed past Howard Schnellenburger and Barry Switzer as my all time favorite coach. This is too good to make up.

http://huskerextra.com/sports/baseball/ ... 4916d.html

Three coaches have allegedly interviewed for the job:
TCU Head Coach Randy Mazey, Arkansas Hitting Coach Todd Butler and former Husker player Will Bolt, who coaches Texarkana College.
I don't have a problem with them hiring a former player, but then I would stick with Darin Erstad, since he was with the program last year as a volunteer/graduate assistant and seemed to be highly regarded by the team.
